This is not just a book about the history of a local park but gives a flavour and insight into the opening decades of the 20th Century in West Kirby and Hoylake. Barbara Mason’s research has illuminated a fascinating period in the development of the district.

Barbara Mason’s grandfather, Edward Hadwin, was the second Park-keeper. She writes, therefore, with a lifelong interest in the park. As a keen local historian she has researched her subject thoroughly using archival material, early maps, memorabilia and oral history as well as her own vivid recollections.
